Al Capone Does My Shirts

     Last year I read Al Capone for school and at first I didn't really like it then it started to get interesting.  It was one of those books where at first it is kind of boring then once you finish it you love it.  I remember when I was done thinking that I really like it.  After that the author made another book called Al Capone Shines My Shoes.  I started to read that book but, never came around to finishing it.  Everybody said that the second was better than the first, but, I liked the first better and I think that is how it is for most books that come in series' because you read the first book and you like it so much that you can't think that there will be a book better than it.  Also usually the first book is what draws you in to the series and in my opinion being the best of it.  The book is about a kid that has a older sister that is doesn't act like she is older than him because she has autism and is very smart in some ways but also isn't so smart socially.  She tried to get into other schools but none of them worked.  Then her younger brother tried one last thing and that was to see if Al Capone could get her in to the school.  And he did.  Basically that is the plot and I really liked it.  It is fun to read and interesting.  I remember seeing a lot of people reading it and it was on a lot of bookshelves and it didn't interest me and somebody recommended it to me at the bookstore and I said that I didn't want to read it and it turned out that we did end up reading it in the beginning of the year.
